I wish eric read this. i first watch this video back in 2010, then asked my parents for violin as my birthday gift. Then i keep playing (learning all by my self) until 2017 when i joined college and play percussion then brass for the non music student orchestra. ust telling how much impact this single video has. If you're still around reading comments, thank you!
